Tasted September 13, 2006 at an offline so brief notes only. 15.95% alcohol. Opened and served immediately in a Spiegelau Authentis Magnum glass. Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of cocoa powder and pepper. Seemed hot to me on the nose. Flavors of black licorice, pepper and bitters. Light to acidity, tannins and light to medium bodied. Also on the down hill side but not quite as far gone yet. Must be that mountain fruit propping it up a bit. Drink yesterday. No value recommendation.

Offered a taste at Yans, nose of black cherry, dust, and earth, same on the palate, medium body, tired, simple, and a medium finish.

Starting 11th Year at Amici (Amici Signature Italian, Carrollton, Texas): Still fairly vibrant wine with a nice deep red color. Interesting very smooth mouthfeel that I found very nice--seemed to hide the 15.5% alcohol level. 88-91
